The fire happened around 6:45 p.m. in a multi-unit building. All 16 units were evacuated.

Allycia Wright was on her way home from work.

"I get off the bus and the apartment is on fire. I can`t believe it," Wright said. "Hopefully there`s not to much damage because I live right next door to him. I don`t know if we`re going to be displaced. I don`t know if we can even get back into the building. They told us we had to wait. It`s just a waiting game."
